STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS On January 11, 2018 Mayor Marcus E. Knight gave the annual State of the City Address “2017 A Year of Community Building� at the luncheon hosted by the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce. The Mayor discussed various monumental areas of growth that were accomplished in 2017. Civic engagement has increased throughout the city. The city completed their tenth year of Civic Leadership Academy. Both Civic Leadership Academy and Public Safety Academy have continually inspired alumni members to run for various elected positions while learning first hand from various departments and observing opportunities for involvement. Local volunteers such as Certified Emergency Response Team (CERT), which was founded after the 2012 tornado tragedy in Lancaster, helped in Hurricane Harvey relief. Additional volunteers such as the LEEP program have assisted in providing additional support to the overload of code violations as well.
